Business Contract Hire

Contract Hire is the perfect product for you if you want fixed cost motoring and are confident about the mileage and condition of your vehicle over a set period of time.
It is an easy and cost effective way to fund vehicles, which would enable you to control one of your biggest expenses.
Contract Hire is the most popular type of vehicle leasing. Under this kind of agreement, the vehicle is hired for a set period of time and pre-determined mileage, at fixed monthly rentals.
You never own the vehicle, so at the end of the contract the finance company will collect it and dispose of it.
It is possible to include a maintenance package in the monthly rentals.
Monthly rentals will depend on the value of the vehicle, length of the contract, and the agreed mileage.

Finance Lease

Finance Lease is a very popular product with many of our customers.
It offers the benefits of ownership because you can take advantage of equity build up in the vehicle via a leasing product with a low initial rental up front.
VAT is only charged on the initial rental, monthly rentals and final rental, not the initial cost of the vehicle.

The vehicle is hired for a fixed monthly rental with a final rental (balloon) covering the estimated residual value of the vehicle at the end of the contract.
You are responsible for disposing of the vehicle at the end of the contract.
If the sale price is above the predetermined final rental (balloon) you will retain the equity, less a small charge from the leasing company.
If the sale price is less than the final rental (balloon) then you will be liable to cover the shortfall.
The final rental is calculated using the expected mileage in the vehicle over the contract.

With Finance Lease you may be able to finance up to 100% of the cost of a vehicle, minimising any initial rental or capital expenditure on your behalf.
You can agree the periodic rentals to be paid in return for the vehicle and, at the end of the term, you have the option to rent the vehicle for a nominal sum (known as a peppercorn rental) or to sell it and retain most of the proceeds.
Your cash flow will be eased as VAT is payable on the rentals only, not the cost of the asset.

Personal Contract Hire

Personal Contract Hire (PCH) is a perfect product for an individual who wants fixed cost motoring and is confident about the mileage and condition of the vehicle over a set period of time.
It is an easy and cost effective way to fund vehicles and it enables you to control one of your biggest expenses.
PCH is available with or without a maintenance package, which offers fixed cost motoring with no hidden extras.

Personal Contract Hire is similar to Business Contract Hire.
However, as an individual you will not be able to recover any VAT or take advantage of any tax allowances.

Not a bad motor would have been perfect if it had parking sensors as standard. But the Astra has a lot going for it. Enjoyable drive decent performance.
